Owner info

Year Purchased: 1978

About the owner: George and I have vacationed to Lake Toxaway forever! We own our second home in Florida. We both love the beauty and tranquil setting of Lake Toxaway. We swim, hike and boat all summer long. Our son lives in California as a web producer, but brings all of his friends back for a mountain vacation and river rafting. We have the best of both worlds…a beautiful lake retreat and a home on the river for the winter in Florida. This year, we are sharing the relaxing lake experience with you!

Why the Owner Chose Lake Toxaway: As one of the founding families of Lake Toxaway, Lucy Moltz (owned the Greystone Inn) said 'I've been all over the world, but I have never been anywhere as beautiful as Lake Toxaway'. That is how we feel too! Our condo has been in my husband's family since Toxaway Shores was developed in the 1970's. It is interesting how the properties pass from generation to generation here. We purchased our unit because of the beautiful long view of Lake Toxaway to the dam.We have always loved the mountains, but Lake Toxaway is special. Anyone who has visited us here, always wants an invite back. This is the first time we have rented our condo as we feel that we'd like to share the joy and relaxation this location holds. We have renovated the condo over the years and have it just like we want it now, with reclaimed wood floors in the huge Family room, pine in the master bedroom and bath, completely redone master bath and work area off of the master bedroom. It's just the perfect location and a relaxing, comfortable, well-appointed place to vacation.
Toxaway Shores consists of 24 units on 5 beautiful acres that overlook Lake Toxaway; North Carolina's largest private lake with 14 miles of shoreline. Sunset cruises are a must! We are truly up in the mountains. Cashiers is 20 mins. from the condo, Brevard 30 minutes and Asheville an hour. Toxaway Shores has an easy 45 minutes access to the Asheville airport. Within 5-10 minutes, there are hiking trails that you will love, Toxaway River Trail, Mills Creek Falls. and you can hike to the bottom of Toxaway Falls for an amazing view of its entire length. There is a small stand by the falls to buy fresh eggs, jams, honey and Amish butter. Should you be looking for a river float adventure, there is an outfitter 15 minutes toward Brevard that is located right on the river. You can rent boats, tubes, canoes and kayaks at Lake Toxaway Marine just across from the condos adjacent to the LT Country Club.

The Unique Benefits at this Townhome: The lake sits at 3000 feet, so warm days and cool nights. Toxaway is a private lake, the largest in N.C. Enjoy a quiet morning walking the dock with a cup of coffee or sitting in one of the adorandeck chairs reading a good book. Get your peace of mind back!
We love being an hour from Asheville too. Take a day trip to see The Biltmore Estate, or enjoy one of the many summer concerts at sunset on the back lawn of the estate (call or go to the Biltmore webpage for a list of entertainers), go on a brewery tour as this area is becoming one of the top brewery destinations, downtown shopping is fun from homemade potato chips, unique teas, to funky fun clothing..it has it all! Many great restaurants too! Check out restaurants.com for some great dining deals. There is also an Arboretum that is beautiful you can see for a small fee. Go into Montford for some great Jamacian cooking or to the Arts District for a walk about! You'll have a fun day!
